During Operation
In the event of imminent danger or in an
emergency, switch off the engine
immediately – move the slide control /
stop switch to 0 or STOP.
Do not allow any other persons in the
work area. To reduce the risk of injury,
keep a sufficiently safe distance away
from other persons.
Make sure the idle speed setting is
correct. The drilling tool must not rotate
when the engine is idling with the throttle
trigger released.
Check and correct the idle speed setting
at regular intervals. If the drilling tool still
rotates, have your dealer check your
machine and make proper adjustments
or repairs.
Take special care in slippery conditions
– damp, snow, ice, on slopes, uneven
ground, etc.
Watch out for obstacles: Roots, tree
stumps or holes which could cause you
to trip or stumble.
Make sure you always have firm and
secure footing.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a
break in good time to avoid tiredness or
exhaustion.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good – ensure you do not endanger
others – stay alert at all times.
Your power tool produces
toxic exhaust fumes as
soon as the engine is
running. These fumes
may be colorless and
odorless. Never run the
engine indoors or in poorly ventilated
locations, even if your model is equipped
with a catalytic converter.
